Is there any way of finding out what files are open
and what programs are accessing those files.  I have
an optical disk and sometimes it won't eject because there are  
files open (the disk is busy).  When I worked with vms systems  
this facility was part of the operating system.  What is keeping  
track of file access and how do I find out?  Thank you very much.

p.s. please post before Dec. 31 as I'm disappearing to Toronto.
